Which condition is a leading cause of non-crash vehicle deaths among children?

  1. Collisions

  2. Heat stroke

  3. Drowning

  4. Falls

The correct answer is: Heat stroke

Heat stroke is a leading cause of non-crash vehicle deaths among children because it is a common and preventable occurrence in hot weather. Leaving children unattended in a hot vehicle, even for a few minutes, can lead to heat stroke and potentially be fatal. While collisions, drownings, and falls can also cause non-crash vehicle deaths among children, heat stroke is specifically a leading cause due to the unique circumstances in which it occurs.
